sanjaya uvaacha evam uktva hrsikesam gudakesah parantapah na yotsya iti govindam uktva tushnim babhuva ha	Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus, Arjuna, chastiser of enemies, told Krsna, "Govinda, I shall not fight," and fell silent.
tam uvaacha hrsikesah prahasann iva bharata senayor ubhayor madhye vishidantam idam vachah	O descendant of Bharata, at that time Krsna, smiling, in the midst of both the armies, spoke the following words to the grief-stricken Arjuna.
sri-bhagavan uvaacha asochyan anvasochas tvam prajna-vadams ca bhashase gatasun agatasums ca nanushochanti panditah	The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead.
na tv evaham jatu nasam na tvam neme janadhipah na chaiva na bhavisyamah sarve vayam atah param	Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.
